Comments Thread For: Controversy Already Breaks Out at Chavez-Lee Weigh-In

[Ray*]

People that think anyone advising Lee to pull out are morons are morons themselves, it doesnt matter what he (Lee) has been through in training or what payday he would end up missing out on, His health is the biggest concern.

If Boxers can pull out of a fight because their opponent were caught juicing i think its safe to say a boxer should have 100% backing if he decides to pull out against an opponent who might be either loading his gloves, or using less padding in his gloves, Lee should threaten to pull out period, **** this idiotic fans who just want blood..

again, i get it, this should be a 100% clean sport but this isnt margarito cheater azz we're talking about here. i wonder where you'd stand if team jcc was demanding this silly stuff? probably the same im guessing you'll say?

I hope the commission do their job of inspect the gloves like they are suppose to. It's things like this that gives boxing a bad look and helps build the argument for more over-sight.

The only controversy here is Lee asking for special accommodations.
If he suspects JR of being a cheater why fight him at all?

Yeah Roach, you don't have to help that little kid who got struck by a car, but it's common courtesy to do so.

Just because "you don't have to" doesn't mean you shouldn't. Put the gloves on the scale.

Demanding stuff??? This is boxing, Both fighters gloves must be checked by a member of the opposition team, Roach was the one checking Bradley's gloves and making sure they are the right size/padding etc, He even rejected Bradley's number one gloves, A gloves has to be checked and weighed NO ifs and buts and this is NOT a demand neither.....Its a requirement to make sure nothing dodgy is going on with the gloves (Margarito or NO Margarito).

Lee is the better boxer - chavez is the better cheater ... tonight we'll see which counts for more

[The_Sandman]

As much I dislike Roach he made the right call ****kkk lees request.the commison already inspected the gloves no need to prove crap to Lee,

Exactly. The COMMISSION inspected the gloves. It's the commission that they are questioning. I mean, it's already an unfair fight. Andy Lee has to get a knockout to win. They're fighting in Texas. Is it so much to ask to weigh the gloves?

Sigh...

This is why my friends who watch MMA make fun of me for watching boxing.

you barely qualify as a casual fan of this sport.
